	501st is also looking at a room party on Saturday night. Enough people chip in $5-$10 and the room rate is quite reasonable. It's on a "party floor", too, so it wouldn't be a problem with the hotel and we'd be likely to mingle with some of the other groups. Club Displays are free, we'd just need to put together a static display along the guidelines found here. A club table would need to be staffed and costs $20. The $20 part is no problem, but since I personally don't want to sit there all weekend, we'd need to find folks to staff it. Does anyone have any ideas for a static display? -----signature----- TK-1420 "Bulls Eye" www.stargarrison.com www.501st.com

	I think we should start small - do a static display this year and aim to do a table next year. For a static display, I'm working on a graphic to use on our posters and flyers (I'll bring it to the meeting this weekend). We should have some other pictures, but I don't know if we have any pictures to use that don't involve 501st and Rebel Legion stuff. I guess we could throw some generic Star Wars pictures up there, but that might be kind of lame.

	I would say start small as well ... if nothing else get some flyers made and maybe have them on a table (like at All-Con, etc). -----signature----- Rebel Legion - Kessel Base, CO Rebel Legion - Detachment: Knights of The Jedi Order (Star Temple) 501st Legion (Star Garrison / South Texas Squad) ID/IG-7595 Jedi Assembly (Southern Order) http://www.myspace.com/danpa_wamem

	OK. Here's my DRAFT flier/poster for us to us at Appolocon. http://www.erikstormtrooper.com/ff_poster_proto.jpg - it's about 1 MB I 'd really like for us to use this as the large poster for our static display, printed in full color at around 19" x 26" (COUGH printertest COUGH). The file above is a scaled-down version, and it looks remarkably good when printed on plain paper in black and white. So this might also work as a flier if y'all are happy with it. What do you guys think? Make sure you zoom in on the image to read the text. As always, feel free to let me know if it's crap

	WOW ! This is very awesome. Quite impressive. Still the web site line would be hard for someone to remember. I think our next goal might be to make it easier somehow. Thanks Eric. This Rocks. -----signature----- . . . - - - . . . John Making final mods: X-Wing Pilot Approved: Jedi Approved: Imperial Officer, Stormtrooper

	Thanks! I totally agree on the website address. But short of us plopping down about $100 a year for our own URL and website, I don't know what we can do about it. Does anyone know if we can buy just a URL (about $15 a year) and have it point to our board here on the tfn forums? I don't expect anyone to remember our address, so that's why I think we should have fliers that people can take with them. I have a B&W laser printer at home with plenty of extra toner, so I could print a whole bunch of B&W fliers at no cost (well, we'd need to buy a pack of paper).

	Nice job Erik! A flier is a great way to push that website too. If I can do this at work, I will let you know. I think this poster will catch eyes too. -----signature----- TK8171 501st Legion - Star Garrison / South Texas Squad "Move along, move along..."

	GREAT WORK! I'll test the printer a few times and see how this comes out. Thanks, Erik! The poster is impressive... very impressive! -----signature----- TK-1420 "Bulls Eye" www.stargarrison.com www.501st.com

	Thanks for the kind words, guys. Ian, if you want to run a printer test, use this big version (8 MB): http://www.erikstormtrooper.com/ff_poster_proto_big.jpg

	I printed the smaller version on 8.5x11, b&w, and it looks good. Only has a 1/4 inch white boarder. I can run off some copies if all agree this will work. Option 1: As for the web site, Danpa (Danny) has several websites and said yes that you can purchase an URL and have it point you somewhere else. Example: www.gospelinsong.net Option 2: For somewhere around $15 each month he has a basic web site that also might work for us. Being that it is a month-to-month charge, they want a credit card. Example: www.dannypattersonmusic.com I think we need to discuss these options at our meeting this Saturday. -----signature----- . . . - - - . . .

	Apollo Con is still a go. We are meeting around 10 am to check in and then costume up for those who are going to troup. Even if you don't want to troup, come and hang out with us. We like crowds and cameras. -----signature----- . . . - - - . . . John Making final mods: X-Wing Pilot Approved: Jedi Approved: Imperial Officer, Stormtrooper
